Im developing a Telegram bot using Qt c++, and i'm having problems trying to set a Webhook.
SSL Server
First of all, i've created a ssl server using QTcpServer and QSslSocket. Some explanations about this can be found in the QSslSocket doc. Also, i generated a self-signed certificate as Telegram doc explains here, using the command:
openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -sha256 -nodes -keyout YOURPRIVATE.key -x509 -days 365 -out YOURPUBLIC.pem -subj "/C=US/ST=New York/L=Brooklyn/O=Example Brooklyn Company/CN=YOURDOMAIN.EXAMPLE"
The result is a pair of files, a private.key file and a public.pem file. So, i used them in the QSslSockets to secure the connection.
The result of that is a ssl server capable of listen and accept connections. When i use a browser to connect to my ssl server, i obtain a warning about using a self-signed certificate (which i think is normal), but can connect to the server. From the server, i'm able of read the data that browser sent. So, i think the server side is good.
Request for setWebhook
In order to perform a request for setWebhook API method, i use QHttpMultipart class to create a MIME Multipart request. The API method needs the Url to be contacted and the public certificate. So, i use this code to generate the url parameter:
QList<QHttpPart> parameters;
QHttpPart urlPart;
urlPart.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentTypeHeader, QVariant("text/plain"));
urlPart.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentDispositionHeader, QVariant("form-data; name=\"url\""));
urlPart.setBody(_url.toLatin1());
parameters.append(urlPart);
And this code to generate the certificate parameter:
QHttpPart filePath;
filePath.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentDispositionHeader, QVariant("form-data; name=\"certificate\""));
QFile *file = new QFile(_filePath);
file->open(QIODevice::ReadOnly);
filePath.setBodyDevice(file);
file->setParent(this);
parameters.append(filePath);
I receive a correct response, with the message that "the webhook was set". But, when Telegram connects to my ssl server, the ssl handshake doesn't finish in a right way (neither encrypted() nor sslError() signals are emitted). I think that the problem is the way i upload the public certificate. As you can see, for the file QHttpPart, i doesn't set the content-type header because i don't know what value to use. I don't know if this can be the problem. I use "text/plain" for url, but don't know what to use for the certificate file.
So, i don't know what could be my problem. Even, i'm not sure if it could be the file upload or not. Using a self signed certificate is not a problem, since the documentation indicates this as a valid way. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
